Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), formerly called giant cell reparative granuloma, is a non-neoplastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. It occurs most commonly in the mandible. The case reported here resembled a wide variety of conditions that led to a misdiagnosis both on clinical and radiographic examinations but was histopathologically diagnosed as CGCG. We describe a case of CGCG arising from the posterior maxilla to highlight the importance of histopathology in the diagnosis of this enigmatic lesion., Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects; ISSN 2008-210X
